The Global Achievment Gap (Chapter 1)

In the first chapter of The Global Achievmet Gap, the author Tony Wagner reviews over the seven survival skills for todays students. Critical thinking and problem solving; collaboration across networks and leading by influence; agility and adaptability; initiative and entrepreneurism; effective written and oral communication; assessing and analyzing information; and curiosity and imagination. Looking at these attributes makes it clear to me that these are equally valuable for business success, but perhaps even more important, are imperatives for good citizenship. He also in the first chaper does an experiment with CEO's to see how well you would go through the hiring process and not to know the correct answers, but the ability to ask the right questions. I thought that the first chapter kept me interested and I learned alot with out boreum which makes a good author and shows my insterest in the subject. I am looking forward to reading on and learning what we need to do to make our schools a better place to be in.
